Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

A trip to the big city yesterday to pick up a couple of slightly used Gigavacs from a Yachtie I have contact with through the Blue Water cruising forum. He decided to change to a different type of contactor so I offered to buy them off him ...... this was mid last yr when getting any of these units was near impossible ..... that problem has eased since but a deal is a deal.
Seeing the catamaran they are travelling the world in ...... no thanks, not a lot of room as far as free deck space even though it was a monster, didn't see inside and he told me it was all hand work pulling the sails up etc, no electric winches but manual winches for the second half of the lift that he couldn't manage by hand ...... too much water around the sides for me to feel safe :twisted: If I couldn't get the sails up and back down with the push of a button, scrambling across a wet deck out in the big waves has no appeal to me at all :lol:

Raining here at the moment helping to lift the humidity to uncomfortable levels but still too cold to just be in a T shirt ..... More inside the shed work I guess ... Peter should be here soon if he hasn't taken this rig bush bashing like his last trip here :lol:

Pete has just arrived so now I'm soaking wet to do the humidity, takes the whole road and driveway to turn a 5ér around to back it in :roll: Perfect timing for every car and truck visiting or leaving Mannum to want to use that section of road :lol:

Nothing achieved yesterday. I had the day off. ;)
We are off to Maryborough this morning for Carol's appointment with physio, hopefully she will go to just one a month from today.

Good morning All. It was drissling rain when I went to Bunties yesterday but when I left it was raining quite heavily and I had to run to the car. When I got home, 700 metres up the road, it was absolutely pouring so i had to sit in the car for about 15 minutes to wait until it eased off and then proceeded to change the eight tap washers, not that they really needed changing, but why not. Grass is now wet so hope it dries off before the next lot of rain which is forecast for 5pm this afternoon.
